Ahmedabad SME Conference

Co-hosted by eChai Ventures, Wadhwani Foundation and iHub.

Ahmedabad SME Conference brings together founders and business owners who are building solid companies and now thinking about the next phase of growth. It is for those working on strengthening their brand, improving systems and governance, exploring the SME IPO route, or taking their products and services to global markets through exports and partnerships.
The focus stays practical and founder-first. What does it really take to move from a strong regional business to a respected brand. How do you prepare your numbers, team, and structure for public markets. What changes when you start selling beyond India. What mistakes are worth avoiding. These are conversations led by people who are in the middle of building, not just advising from the outside.
As with eChai gatherings, the format encourages honest sharing, peer learning, and meaningful connections. The intent is simple: help SMEs think bigger, operate stronger, and move toward becoming institution-ready businesses with global ambition.
